## About "torch" in BIP39

- "torch" has 5 letters, but the first four, **"torc"**, already identify it, because **"tor"** also begins [tornado](/bip39-word/tornado/) and [tortoise](/bip39-word/tortoise/).
- **"torc"** is unique only within the English list: it also begins torche in the [French list](/french/) and torcido in the [Portuguese list](/portuguese/), so a four-letter backup should say which list it uses.
